TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hal Snyder wrote about using laser printers to generate "overhead
transparencies", but I'd add two points:
1. A warning: Double-check that your transparency materials are rated
safe for laser printers. Standard transparencies will melt and
basically destroy the print engine, an expensive mistake.
2. An alternative: Inkjet printers are a better bet for overheads
because they're far less expensive and let you use color. (And I don't
believe that you need special "paper".)
